WITP Staff Fails to Run

[EasilyConfused]

I installed the hotfix and I updated Java, but each time I try to run the program it gives me the following message in a dos prompt:

C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\tools\witpstaff>echo off
WitpStaff AE V0.7 (C) 2006-9 by M.Baumeister. Please wait!
Press any key to continue . . .

Pressing enter just closes the window. I'm running Vista x64.

Thanks for your help.

Is your PC running Vista? Vitas "dos" isn't Dos and it cant run certain things that are DOS..mine refuses run 16 bit Dos

You might tinker with Compat mode if using vista, I havent yet installed AE on my vista so cant test if works on mine (the tool)

Enter the tools folder, then the witpStaff folder and click on the witpdecoder2.jar file....

...this is a known issue for those of us with x64 Vista....the .bat file doesn't work with x64 Vista.

I'm receiving the following error after trying to load a save file from the coral sea scenario


I applied the hotfix to the .dll in the tools file before trying to load a save.

Same thing here. Windows 7, 64-bit.

Tried running it, it initilizes  a DB,   I had an first error of "TF90 lead by No or a Foreign Officer" error, after going on past that comes up the above error.

This is Vista Home and tried Vista mode, XP mode, 98/Me mode  no go on all.

I note too the hot fix DLL is SMALLER then the one author provides

Well the coral Sea scenario has production off and I've just checked it and get the same error message. Without knowing Woo's code, I've looked at the error log

There is a problem with LCU 3825 (20th) as follows:
Couldn't write things to the DB due to java.sql.SQLException: Integrity constraint violation - no parent PreparationOnlyForExistingTargets table: BaseStatus

I'm guess that this is something to do with the LCU not having a particular field correctly assigned - which is required, so the DB is chucking it out ... This looks to be preparation for a base, which is not in the scenario but I looked in the scenario DB, and couldn't see what was missing, so I'm [&:]

[edit]Witstaff, is really tailored to the full campaign, not small scenarios ...

[Tanaka]

Yep I get the same thing...

I am using the Guadalcanal scenario.

[n01487477]

Well, just to repeat myself, there is very little, to no need to use witpstaff for the smaller scenario's anyway, especially as they all have production off iirc ... but this problem does not seem to be about production rather a LCU/Base problem (I stated 2 posts earlier)

No worries then if it's not designed/needed for scenarios. Was just wanting to play around with it. I will give it a try with the GC someday when I get to playing it.

Tried running the witpdecoder2.jar file ... and then to load the save file

Keep getting the same load errors as before.

Is there a next step or should I just stop using the file on my Vista PC...or can I load and run the witpstaff tool on another pc and transfer the save file.

It looks and sounds very useful.

I spent over six hours last night working on my first turn in the campaign 2 scenario before hitting execute to confirm it was working. The game is working well, just very intimidating several times as I seemed to be checking every single base, and task force.

Should I wait to worry about using witpstaff?

[n01487477]

What is the error ? Do you have JavaVM installed ? Are you using the hotfix ? 

[ny59giants]

I'm another person having problems getting this program to run. And yes, I have installed the hot fix. When I attempt to "Load Savefile" the program just closes after I click on my game file (saved in slot 9). Why and how do I fix this?? [&:]

No messages Michael, just CTD ? In the staff folder, can you see a witpdecoder.txt file, it lists some of the DB functions ?

[ny59giants]

Damian,

You are correct.

P.S. You may need to change your "From: (46,114)" to reflect where that is on the AE map. [:D]

[n01487477]

Yeah, what is it now ? 1045, 5009 [:D] ... can't change call sign until I'm here, playing and losing ...

Can you send me the savefile to check ?

Damian

[ny59giants]

Is this what your looking for??
 

config.directory is db
You didn't correctly closed the DB last time. LeaderPrefs exists.
You didn't correctly closed the DB last time. ACFactors exists.
Now trying plugin UPGTestPlugin

[ny59giants]

File sent.

[n01487477]

ok worked fine on mine ... where did you put the new dll file ? Here ? Wish you used a chat program sometimes
